Just released: Pillow 11.2.1 π
There was meant to be a 11.2.0 on 1st April, but we put too much good stuff in the wheels and hit the @pypi.org project limit before it could all be uploaded. That was yanked and now deleted and 11.2.1 is back to normal size.
We'll try and put the good stuff back for 11.3.0 on 1st July but take up less space.
Pillow (@pillow@fosstodon.org)
Attached: 3 images πππ¨ Pillow 11.2.1 has been released! What happened to 11.2.0? Two things: we added AVIF support which made the wheels much bigger, and we hit the PyPI project size limit before the release could be fully updated. 11.2.1 instead has AVIF support but needs to be built from source. We'll look into including AVIF in wheels in a future release so that the size doesn't increase so much. This release also adds Arrow support and more: https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/releasenotes/11.2.1.html #Python #Pillow #PythonPillow #release

Jeff Triplett@hugovk Great work!
I keep passing over em-keyboard but it's installed now and I bet I can use it in some git commit work where I have some times need an emoji.
@webology Thanks! I use em-keyboard a lot, it's really handy.
Another tip I heard, if you're adding extra temporary logging when debugging, stick an emoji in there to make it stand out. And you can use `em --random` to help with this.

@SnoopJ Ha! You have to use `cal 9 1752` for that!
Python:
'The functions and classes defined in this module use an idealized calendar, the current Gregorian calendar extended indefinitely in both directions. This matches the definition of the βproleptic Gregorianβ calendar in Dershowitz and Reingoldβs book βCalendrical Calculationsβ, where itβs the base calendar for all computations. Zero and negative years are interpreted as prescribed by the ISO 8601 standard.'

Admittedly I'm mostly looking forward to the "pi-thon" jokes π
anarcat@hugovk i was about to bite and say "wait, we ship a calendar and not a standard packaging backend??" but then i realized we were *already* shipping that and 3.14 just adds the "current day" feature :p
